Its not grasping at straws because I've heard him elaborate on similar topics before, so I think I can reasonably assume what he's trying to get at. That's the problem with twitter however, its limited by characters. So there's no way to sum up his opinion on the matter just by reading a tweet and presenting it as some type of evidence of his overall viewpoint.
And if you're right about his opinion on it (which I highly doubt)...well there is one topic that he could be out to lunch on. Does that discredit everything else he says? Do you have to agree 100% with someone on every issue in order to think their work has any value worthy of public attention?
